Nothing OS 4 beta is finally here, and fans are eager to know what has changed compared to Nothing OS 3. After exploring the update, it’s clear: “Nothing has drastically changed”, but there are some small tweaks and improvements that may improve your day-to-day experience.
Lock Screen and Dark Mode Improvements You’ll Notice
One of the first things you’ll see is the new clock styles on the lock screen. There are two options — a bold font and a thin version — but some may find it a bit inconsistent. The dark mode is another improvement. Unlike Nothing OS 3, which felt more grayish, the new dark mode is deeper and closer to true dark, and you can even adjust the darkness level. A subtle but welcome change for daily use.
Control Center Customization Makes Life Easier
Nothing OS 4 brings several useful tweaks in the control center. For instance, when toggling Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, it now shows a clear “On/Off” indicator. You can also change any shortcut icon into a square form, giving more customization options. A handy addition is the Wi-Fi share feature directly from the control center, saving time and clicks.
Multi-Tasking Pop-Ups and Widgets Upgraded
For multi-tasking fans, the update allows two apps to run in pop-up mode simultaneously, enhancing productivity. The update also adds home screen widgets from the Nothing community, including useful tools like calculator and currency converter, though resizing options for larger input are still missing.
Minor Tweaks and Future AI Expectations
Other small changes include minor UI tweaks in recording apps and control center interactions. Nothing is expected to focus on AI features in future updates, which could bring significant improvements compared to this beta.
Final Thoughts: Beta for Enthusiasts, Wait for Stable for Daily Use
Nothing OS 4 beta brings small but handy tweaks, while major changes are still on the roadmap. Normal users should wait for the stable release, but enthusiasts can explore new customizations and pop-up multitasking now. The update shows Nothing is listening to community feedback, and more AI and productivity features are expected in the coming months.
